Trying to Update Firefox 3.6.3 on 09.10

[Nathan Bahn]

Hello everyone--

So I get a message saying that FF cannot update -- or words to that effect -- because it does not have the permissions required to access the root directory.  After doing some looking around, I conclude that I need to set up an administrative account.  I do so; however, I still get a message stating that FF doesn't have the necessary permissions even though I AM IN the new just-created administrative account.  So what's going on?  Why won't FF3.6.3 update from an administrative account in 09.10?
